Did WIn 7 pro come as the installed OS or was a downgrade from Win 8 required? Does this have the 10 digit numeric keypad?

It was factory downgraded from 8 to 7 and yes it has the 10 key setup. I had no problems setting this computer up for a coworker, since Windows 8 wasn't the operating system.

Came with Win Pro 7 installed. I was very careful about that because Win 8 is not acceptable to me at this point. Yes, has 10-digit keypad. Also, the keyboard seems to be higher quality than other laptops I have used over the years.

The first unit I purchased came w/Win 7. The next two came with Win 8 and a downgrade to 7. Since I bought these for our nephews graduation presents I cannot confirm the 10 digit numeric keypad although I do believe that this is the case.

It came with Win 7 installed, which is what I wanted. An IT friend suggested it. Doesn't think Windows 8 and the touchy-feely screen is quite ready for prime time.

The OS on this unit is actually going to be Win7 PRO 64bit. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank You, ServerMonkey

The one I received already had Windows 8 installed, but it comes with recovery discs that let you wipe it and put Windows 7 back on it.

Did you try using your Win7Pro serial with the Anytime Upgrade? I don't know if it would work, but it's certainly worth a try, and I would think would leave you with a much cleaner "install" than actually installing the OS over a lower-grade version.

I have Windows 8 and it works fine. Windows 7 isn't that old. This is simply a keypad.

Hi, It comes with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, with downgrade rights to Windows 7 pro 64bit. Thanks, PCrush

When I received mine, it was Windows 7 Pro with Windows 8 Pro discs (for upgrade).

Actually, the description is slightly off. Here is the set up this computer comes with: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit preloaded - use it as long as you want to. It's preloaded there by Lenovo through the Microsoft Downgrade Rights Licensing program. The computer has Windows 8 sticker, as well as Windows 8 product key encrypted into BIOS. In the box, you will find Windows 8 Pro recovery disks, in case if you ever decide to install that. You don't need to pay for anything. Basically, both Windows 7 and Windows 8 are included. You can use any of them without paying anything extra.

Hi Jeff, by default the unit runs with Windows 8 pro. Windows 7, however, is also pre installed on the unit. But to be able to use Windows 7, you need to do a downgrade process.Thanks, PCrush

Sorry, don't know the answer to your questions, but I will tell you that the Windows 8 OS, without touchscreen capability, makes for a very problematic typing experience...I have to hit Fn and F7 to turn off the touchpad or all hell breaks lose when you try to type.

It comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed, but you can upgrade it to Windows 8 Pro via its disc.

i honestly can't find any info on it. the device itself is to small to have any serial number on it and windows loads and installs its own drivers automatically. it comes with install disc but i never had to use it. recognized by windows vist, 7 and 8. Also i've had no issues with its performance. paired it with a keyboard and works great. hope i helped in someway.

Mine came with a Windows 7 Professional installation CD, presumably that was the OS installed before I replaced it with Linux.

It comes with win 8, I was able to downgrade it to win 7, after doing some test l reprogram it with win 8. Win 8 is too much faster, you need only "startisback" which will cost you only $4. So you will have UI of windows 7 but much faster.

Mine came with Windows 7 Professional as the operating system. But no Word. Actually, when I got it, it had a Word but not certified, so I have to use Open Office... but they did advertise that correctly. Yes, mine did come with an operating system. You can also contact the seller...they seem to back up what they say and will answer questions. KM

Mine came with Windows 7 professional installed and with recovery disks for Windows 8 should you want to upgrade.

Mine came with windows 7 pro, so no problems about updating, as you know windows 7 is a current system supported by Microsoft, hope this help.
